film directed by master Iranian filmmaker,Abbas Kiarostami . The film is considered by some critics as a notable twist in the artistic career of Kiarostami."Shirin" is made from simple closeup shots of faces as they themselves watch a film. Everything is angled toward a specific end: all the people inspected closely are women, and the film they are watching is the 800-year-old Persian love story of
Khosrow and Shirin , a semi-mythicPersian romance of female self-sacrifice.
